The Book of Psalms

Lord , who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?(a)

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.(b)

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord . He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

(a)15:1 abide: Heb. sojourn

(b)15:3 taketh…: or, receiveth, or, endureth

LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
